were within normal limits. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) demonstrated multiple round or oval areas of low density with intratumoral calcifi cation, mostly along the margins of the liver ( fi g. 1 a).

CT during hepatic arteriography (CTHA) demonstrated target-like lesions, that is, a central low-density area with a A 50-year-old man with multiple liver tumors mimicking metastatic carcinoma on imaging studies was admitted for further evaluation. On admission, the results of laboratory examinations were normal, except for an elevated -glutamyl transpeptidase concentration (124 IU/l).
